Convener

Item 2 is to choose a convener. The Parliament has agreed that only members of the Scottish Green Party are eligible to be convener of the committee. That being the case, I seek nominations for the position of convener.

I nominate Patrick Harvie.

Patrick Harvie was chosen as convener.

I welcome Patrick Harvie to the job of convener, which I am sure will be rewarding. We look forward to lively sessions to follow.

Thanks very much. Given that the Parliament agreed that a member of the Green party should be nominated as convener, members have not had a wide field to choose from, but I am happy to be serving on what I think will be an important and interesting committee. Although several newspapers have already referred to it as the transport committee, we will be dealing with a much broader range of issues than that suggests. I look forward to working with all of you.
